BangThruBookmarks

What it's for...

In the mornings, with my breakfast, I like to read webcomics, news and geeksites; I used to have just a folder-full of links which I could Open All In Tabs and then go make coffee, come back and close the tabs one-by-one until my daily read is finished.

But then there got to be too many tabs and too much heavy memory use - so I wrote BangThruBookmarks.

How it works...

  1. Somewhere in your bookmarks tree, create a bookmark folder named bangthru...

  2. Or any foldername beginning with an exclamation mark, eg: !geek or !News

  3. It can be in your bookmark toolbar, or anywhere in your chome bookmarks...

  4. And you can actually have more than one, because they will be virtually glued together...

  5. And under that/those folder(s) put bookmarks and other subfolders-containing-bookmarks for which you want bangthru access

  6. Then, start hitting the BangThruBookmarks hammer icon

  7. And you will bang through your bookmarks, one by one.

  8. Open new tabs if you want, it works in whatever tab you are currently using.

Known issues...

The ordering of the tabs once they are enqueud can be a bit haphazard; the asynchronous nature of Chrome is the cause, and eventually I'll work out what to do about this. Suggestions welcome.
